Excellent work Sir; that's much closer to an authentic looking hawk then we usually see around these parts. Americans tend to want it to look to 'new age'! AKA, "Purdy" or "New". This one looks "used and loved". Sure would hate to lose an old friend like that.

Nice, I think I should add some rawhide wrap to mine also now!

Great work on the hawk.  I am a bit concerned about the wrap.....

It will keep the head from coming off - but the head of a throwing hawk should
come off on a hit that is under-rotated to help from breaking the handle. If you
do not intend to throw it then it is just fine as is.
